Three steps down is the patio with a bistro table & chairs, two chaise loungers, and a large professional stainless grille set in outdoor cabinetry for cooking while surrounded by nature and salt air breezes. A 100 lb propane tank is included to ensure that you never run out while cooking. The salt water hot tub is located next to the deck and fire pit to relax and rejuvenate after an adventurous day as well as a beautiful new outdoor shower and outdoor kitchen area built in 2024.

A PERFECT LOCATION IN A PERFECT SETTING
Nature trails are easily accessed only 50 ft away that lead to Grays Beach also known as Bass Hole. You can stroll the boardwalk that stretches 868 feet into a salt marsh over the bass river. Grays beach offers a playground, picnic area, boat launch, beach with lifeguards, and free parking. Here's what visitors are saying: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g41955-d208266-Reviews-Gray_s_Beach-Yarmouth_Port_Cape_Cod_Massachusetts.html.

Walk or bike to the neighborhood ice cream shop, village store, or playground only minutes away. You will be conveniently located with easy access to the pristine bay beaches of Dennis which are only a 15-minute drive down Rt. 6A. Bike, walk, or drive to Dennis pond which is 1 mile away and is one of Cape Cod's cleanest freshwater ponds. Enjoy kayaking, fishing, swimming, or just relaxing on the beach which has lifeguards on duty during the weekend. The neighborhood playground is a 10 minute walk away. The new rail trail bike trail extension is only a 3 minute drive away with free parking. You may bicycle on a paved surface for as far as 25.5 miles and stop along the way for a bite to eat at several eateries.

Visit downtown Hyannis, just 15 minutes away, where there is always something fun to do for any age. It boasts eclectic and fun museums, library, carousel, art galleries, boutiques, pubs, fine restaurants, nightclubs, ice cream parlors, coffeehouses, bookstores, harbor cruises, and the ferries to Nantucket and Martha's vineyard.
Experience the quieter side of cape cod. Scenic route 6A is chock full of antique shops and some of New England’s finest boutiques. The tree-lined winding road will bring you to many of the area’s finest restaurants while passing through some of America’s oldest villages.

“Landscapes, like beauty, may well be colored by the eye of the beholder, but steering along tree-shaded route 6a on a mild summer day, with blue inlets of cape cod bay on one side and white picket-fenced houses on the other, I’m tempted to conclude this may be the most appealing stretch of America I know.”

Great family vacation

We had a great stay with 3 generations of family members. The home had more than enough room for the 8 of us and the communication with the property manager was excellent. Nancy was very responsive to any questions and had very detailed information available at the house for activities and dining. The view of the sunsets over the water were spectacular.

Relax and Stay By The Bay…

I truly can’t say enough about the property, location, amenities and property manager. The beds are so comfortable all the guests slept great. The kitchen is more than well stocked. There was plenty of room for our group of 8 to enjoy each others company, both inside and out and, also retreat to our own space when ready for some peace and quiet. The neighborhood and the neighbors were so welcoming, it felt like we were home. The view, the yard, the wildlife, the sunsets made me wish we had more time there.

Amazing 9th summer girls' trip

We take a girls' trip every summer and this year it was to Cape Cod. The house was amazing and everything we needed and some. It seemed for us to be pretty centrally located for all the things we wanted to do. They had a lot of items (kayaks, bikes, beach chairs) to use. We really enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit in the evenings. Nance was very helpful. So many good memories were made.

Perfect Cape Getaway

This is the perfect place to have a family vacation. There is enough space for everyone, the beds are extremely comfortable (a rarity for Cape vacation houses!), and the view from the porch is to die for. The kitchen quality rivals any kitchen we've ever cooked in. We used the provided bikes and kayaks daily. Truly too many nice things to list. To top it all off, Nance is an amazing and attentive hostess. Just truly the best place to stay with a large group on the Cape.

All conveniences thought of

Every small nuance that a guest might want has been thought of with this property. When Nance says that she and her husband put a lot of thought into what rental properties they have loved the most over their 20 plus years renting on the Cape, she was not kidding. The house and property were impeccable with beautiful finishes and tons of conveniences. Her exceptional attention to detail was remarkable---even describing every beach on the Cape with sand consistency, shells, crowds, parking, handicap access, etc. After years of renting through VRBO, Sunset Bay Villa is one of my top 3. Thank you so very much for a wonderful and memorable stay!

Secluded Cape Charmer

Thank you Nance for sharing your Cape Cod slice of paradise! The photographs do not do it justice. From the moment my family and I walked in to this home, we were instantly at ease that we picked a charmer. We were greeted with a lovely basket of snacks and drinks and an assortment of cold beers. The house was equipped with everything you will need to make for an incredibly comfortable stay. Nance was extremely attentive before, during, and after our stay to ensure that our every need was met. She even shipped back items that we mistakenly left behind. All the amenities and then some. Well cared for and Immaculate. Huge deck and yard with sunset views over the marsh and distant ocean. We thoroughly enjoyed our evenings sitting by the fire pit or relaxing in the spotless hot tub. If you are looking for an incredible property with beautiful views and a central location look no further you have found it.

Best home rental experience ever!

We rented this home for a wedding and it easily accommodated all 10 of us. Just too many wonderful things to say about Sunset Bay. Home was well appointed and immaculate. It was almost like the owners just stepped out of their home and we stepped in. Killer kitchen and dining area. Huge deck with hot tub overlooking beautiful marsh scene with a big back yard and fire pit. Also, there is a great little 15 minute hike right out back thru a little forest and out into the marsh. The owners were incredibly accommodating. We had a baby and the owner went out and bought us a crib!!! Nance, the owner, could not have been more accommodating and pleasant to work with. Our fav rental experience in 40 years of travel and renting home.

Great Stay! Cant wait to visit again

This was our families first trip to the Cape, we have been to the Boston area many times. What a pleasant surprise upon arrival. Beautiful home, very welcoming. The home is very well equipped with quality towels and linens. The best sleep my husband and I have had in a long time. Neither of woke up during the night. Plenty of fresh clean bathrooms for everyone. The kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly need. Nance the host was great, checked on us to see if needed anything and very accessible to answer any questions we had. The garage had all kinds of fun stuff for us to use. So nice not having to travel with beach chairs and bikes, they were all available for our use. The bbq and backyard were very welcoming and worked great. we can't wait to come and visit again. Plenty of restaurants and shopping close by with everything we needed for our vacation to the area.

Fabulous find!

I was invited to stay at Sunset Bay Villa with friends for the weekend. When I arrived I immediately felt right at home. My husband and I had our own bedroom with a private bathroom decorated with warm comfortable décor. The kitchen was magnificent, it was spacious, bright and welcoming. It has a beautiful country dining room table, a granite island that I have only seen in magazines and it was fully equipped with everything you would need to cook a gourmet dinner. The windows in the kitchen and the sliding glass doors out to the deck bring in sunshine and warmth giving it a cozy feel. The view from these windows over looks the picturesque wetlands leading to the ocean. The living room and fireplace area are decorated with Cape Cod charm. The sitting area with the fireplace is a great spot to sit with a glass of wine after a day of shopping on Cape Cod. The living room has clean, comfortable furniture perfect for relaxing while watching a movie or a football game. I look forward to spending some time during the summer at Sunset Bay Villa. I would sit on the deck or perhaps go in the Jacuzzi in the warm sun and enjoy the lovely view. I would recommend anyone to stay at this home for their vacation, you won’t be disappointed.

Comfortable, Cozy Fall Weekend

We truly enjoyed our weekend stay at Sunset Bay Villa. We invited friends to join us for the weekend to catch up and celebrate a birthday and their anniversary. What we found was a very comfortable, clean, cozy home which was nicely decorated and an amazing fully stocked gourmet kitchen with state of the art appliances and a gorgeous view. We love to entertain and this kitchen made it so easy to cook up a country breakfast for our friend’s arrival. The next best part was the layout of this home which has the two master bedrooms on opposite sides of the house, giving each couple ample amounts of privacy. Also 4 full bathrooms is a definite plus making getting ready to go out a breeze. The Cape in the fall is really beautiful along 6A, there are many homes decorated for the fall and farms along the way to visit for mums, pumpkins and yummy treats. This home is also in very close proximity to many choices for fine dining, quaint stores for shopping or a day at the Heritage Museum in Sandwich. We would definitely like to try this rental for a summer vacation as well.

Ten Stars for Amenities

We recently stayed at this pleasant and inviting home and had to share how pleased we were that this is the one we finally chose after reviewing so many other properties in the Yarmouth Port area. We chose this area because of its proximity to some of the best beaches on Cape Cod, the island ferries, walking trails, and Boston; which we always squeeze in to visit. Its interior space is very well laid out making it super comfortable for relaxing and entertaining our family of 6 adults and 3 children. It has cental a/c making it very comfortable for a few hot and humid days and ceiling fans to circulate the air when the a/c isn’t needed. We have rented homes without central a/c and I don’t think we would ever consider doing it again after staying here. The laundry room in the finished basement and having four full bathrooms was a huge plus for our family of 9. The beds are comfortable and outfitted with beautiful linens and pillows. There is a garage full of adult and children’s bicycles to choose from, a Thule bike carrier, two kayaks with several different sized life vests, and also two Thule kayak carriers. They also supply a set of cornhole boards which we used most evenings after dinner, beach chairs, coolers, and indoor/outdoor toys. I honestly couldn't think of one item missing from the gourmet kitchen that was needed during our stay. The outdoor areas were fabulous with plenty of seating and lounging options for taking in the spectacular views, a commercial grill, a fire pit and hot tub. We received a comprehensive email with shopping locations and arrival info which was super helpful for planning ahead. The owners have thought of every detail and it shows in their well thought out, fully stocked and organized vacation home.

A Vacation to Remember

Historically, we have rented homes on Cape Cod near Rt 28 and decided to try the 6A side this year. We were pleasantly surprised to find they are two different worlds. The 6A side is more peaceful, quaint, and less touristy. As far as rental homes, Sunset Bay Villa is a beautiful residence that is a distant far cry from what you would expect in a vacation rental. It’s even better than the photos depict. All the amenities, furnishings, and architecture are top notch. (Absolutely loved the very large round window in the kitchen) We thoroughly enjoyed using the hot tub and fire pit at the end of the day. Nance was very helpful with tips and answering all of my questions and offered suggestions to help with plans for our perfect family reunion. Our son and daughter were travelling from different areas of the country and everyone loved this home. This certainly was a vacation to remember. Thank you for your hospitality.

TRUE HIDDEN GEM

I hesitate to share all the wonderful aspects of this spectacular coastal retreat for fear of it becoming difficult to reserve in the future. Where do I begin? Immaculate and well organized, convenient quiet location, inviting décor and layout, more amenities than you could wish for, a kitchen to die for, amazing views of the marsh and distant ocean/sand dunes, high end furnishings, and caring responsive owners. We could not have been more pleased. Thank you for sharing your hidden gem with us.

AMAZING SETTING

We had a wonderful stay at Sunset Bay Villa. We had rented the cottage next door before and this year we decided to stay at Nance’s larger property. The sunset views are spectacular from the kitchen, deck, and backyard. The house layout was perfect for our extended family offering four private bathrooms and a pocket door that kept the main living area quiet from the bedrooms. The house is beautifully decorated. Nance even put her special touches in the finished basement area. Everything is provided: beach chairs, coolers, bicycles, kayaks, corn hole boards, beach toys, indoor games, and movies. The kitchen has spices, condiments, and a full array of cookware and appliances. We felt so at home from the start. We relaxed in the yard making use of all the comfortable seating choices. We took several day trips to explore the Cape and always looked forward to unwinding at the end of the day in this special home. We plan on renting from Nance for a third year. There is no doubt that she truly cares about her guests. Thanks for sharing your tranquil vacation home with our family.

Unclean and ill-prepared for our stay!

At first glance the house appeared clean, but the floors were sandy and the refrigerator freezer was VERY dirty and contained old and opened food packages. The pull-out sofa in the lower level where our daughters were supposed to sleep had what appeared to be droppings on the bed when we opened it. They were not able to sleep on it. The kitchen flatware and utensil drawers had to be cleaned before use. Our son had to clean the outdoor grille, as it was unsuitable for cooking. We knew in advance that the homeowner would stop by to pick up the recycling mid-week, but we didn't anticipate that she would stay in-and-around both properties for three hours. We found it very uncomfortable that she would come in and out of the house to address our cleaning concerns we had shared with her when asked, deliver clean towels which we already had plenty of, work in the yard, etc. All this attention to the property should have been given prior to our arrival, NOT during our rental stay. She moved around the house as if she had a right to be there. The homeowner's extended stay interfered with our plans for the afternoon, and I was very disturbed by that. Despite the fact that we told the homeowner in advance of our visit that we wouldn't be using the hot tub, a fact that she denies, she deducted a service charge from our security deposit. While the home and setting were lovely, we would not rent from her again.

Fantastic Cape Cod getaway!

We loved our time at Sunset Bay Villa! We are a group of six adults who have a tradition to spend New Year's week in a house somewhere in New England to eat, play games, and enjoy everyone's company. After much research, we decided on the Sunset Bay Villa and we couldn't have been happier. The bedrooms were spacious and well kept, we didn't have to share bathrooms, the kitchen was large and well-equipped, and the sunsets were beautiful. Because we were there in the winter, we didn't venture too far into town, but had the temperature been a few degrees warmer (and had we not been so cozy indoors) we easily could have walked around the main street and on the path to the beach. The owner, was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process and helped make our stay as easy and fun as possible. She met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the house, showing us where things were located, sharing tips on how to handle some of the quirks of the house, and answering any questions we had. She also gave us her cell number and told us to contact her if we needed anything (we didn't). The three hefty binders of menus, check out procedures, and other helpful details were proof that the owner does this a lot and knows what she's doing.

OFF SEASON DELIGHT

My wife, our three grown daughters and son-in-law’s, and granddaughter enjoyed a wonderful week vacationing at this beautiful home located in a quiet and tranquil area close to bayside beaches and multiple golf courses. We thoroughly enjoyed all the amazing restaurants in the area. We especially loved Encore in Dennis who also owns another favorite of ours, Sesuit Harbor Café. We visited the Cape Playhouse for live entertainment. The house itself was spotless and tastefully decorated. The weather was very mild allowing us to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. We enjoyed all that this home had to offer including a short stroll to Grays beach through the nature trails, relaxing in the hot tub overlooking a fire, bicycling around the quiet neighborhood, golfing nearby, and falling asleep in luxurious bedding. We have rented many homes on Cape Cod and felt this house was very reasonably priced for all that it offered. Nance was super helpful and a pleasure to deal with on several occasions. We would definitely recommend this stunning vacation home to anyone who is looking for a quiet, relaxing retreat with an extensive list of amenities for a great rate!!

Look no further!!

Like many of you who experience the uncertainty of renting private vacation homes, we could not have been happier that we chose this one. I am embarrassed to say that the house was cleaner than our home. I have a bit of OCD and was always comfortable and relaxed here. The owner, Nance has a special talent for decorating in a casual coastal theme and included more than what was needed in amenities. We will definitely have to come back since we didn’t have time to use the bicycles and explore the lovely neighborhood. We did however use the kayaks and the canoe and made several trips to nearby Grays Beach and Dennis Pond. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the nature trails that are right behind the property and we played corn hole almost every evening with a final tournament to complete our amazing week at Sunset Bay Villa. Look no further!!

Breathtaking view!!

Everything about this house makes for a very comfortable, relaxing vacation on Cape Cod. It’s location is so convenient to the best beaches, heading for a day trip to Boston, browsing the many antique shops and galleries along 6A, or just enjoying the many amenities offered. We were instantly wowed upon arrival when we walked up the stairs from the driveway into the backyard and were greeted by a spectacular sunset view. It simply took our breath away and we began snapping photos right from the start. Everything is provided to make packing a simple task. What a treat it was to not have to pack linens, towels, beach chairs, bicycles….the list goes on. The layout of the house is wonderful allowing our extended family privacy and space. Having four full bathrooms was also a plus. Nance was a true delight to deal with. She helped with suggestions on planning our vacation in advance and even shipped back several clothing items that we left behind. Every time I texted or e-mailed, her response was within minutes which was very reassuring. This home and vacation has been our best experience on Cape Cod. I can hardly wait to return.

Summer Perfection

My family and I were so fortunate to have stayed at this gorgeous property for a second time and had perfect weather almost every day. It was even better this time with several additions such as the comfy chaise lounges with cushions situated in the backyard overlooking the marsh and oceanview beyond, a new large flat screen tv that was installed in the finished basement, and seven bicycles of varying sizes to suit almost everyone in our party. We arrived at a meticulously spotless home which is always a great way to start any vacation. We used the kayaks provided and visited Dennis Pond and Gray’s Beach for some fun-filled excursions. We biked through the nature trails that are only 50 feet away and saw several bird species and a red fox. We drove to beautiful Herring Cove Beach in Provincetown and spotted whales spouting right in front of us from our comfortable beach chairs which were also provided by Nance. She is a wonderful hostess and never makes you feel like you are being a nuisance for asking so many questions. It was truly a perfect vacation with perfect accommodations. You will not be disappointed except if you are unable to reserve since it gets booked quite quickly.

This will be my 14th year successfully renting and managing private vacation homes on Cape Cod. My family has been renting private homes worldwide for over twenty five years. We know what we like and expect and we try our best to put all those pieces together to ensure a comfortable and relaxing retreat. I thoroughly enjoy making decorating changes and adding special touches to create an enjoyable experience while vacationing here. My top priority is to make certain that my guests feel comfortable and at home and truly love where they stay. Our wonderful guests have taken the time to write reviews and share their experiences while staying with us. We hope that you will give us the opportunity to welcome you as one of our guests too. Just pack your bathing suits and leave all the essentials behind. We will take care of the rest. Sunset Bay Rental Cape Cod

Why they chose this property

The home is located on a very special piece of property that is surrounded by 300 acres of conservation land and overlooks Great Marshes, a tidal marsh. The nature trails that lead to Grays beach are easily accessed 50 feet away. The sunsets and views are spectacular. During the course of a day, the lighting changes and creates a magical setting. Cape Cod Bay is the only location on the East Coast where you can view the sun setting over the ocean. It is peaceful and serene to be surrounded by nature and view hundreds of species of birds that call this paradise their home along with white-tailed bunnies who frolick in the yard at dawn and dusk. It is located north of Route 6A, very desirable and within fifteen minutes of ferries, train, airport, pristine bay beaches, Cape Cod Playhouse, antique shops, art galleries, museums, clam shacks, multiple golf courses, playgrounds, kayaking, boat launch, charter boats, and whale watching boats. Only a five minute walk to the newly renovated neighborhood playground and the village store/ice cream shop. Two miles to the newly opened Rail Trail extension and to Kings Way Golf Club and Bayberry Hills Golf Course.
A perfect location in a perfect setting.

What makes this property unique

We purchased this home as our family vacation home in 2004. We have enjoyed sharing many memories on Cape Cod with family & friends. In 2013, we were offered the opportunity to buy the cottage next door and so our vacation rental business began. The house has been completely renovated with new hardwood flooring, custom tile, recessed lighting, wood ship-lap ceilings, walls of wood beadboard, and a new gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, granite countertops, cathedral ceiling, and ceiling fans. There is a large 4-panel glass sliding door that opens to the large outdoor deck for wonderful outdoor entertaining.
All new siding/trim, new windows, doors, lighting, decking, and patio/walkways. All the furnishings, linens, and mattresses are new to ensure total comfort. Added benefits are Central A/C, WiFi, Apple TV, flat screen TVs in the family room and finished basement. linens provided and laundering service also provided, fully stocked kitchen, fire pit, hot tub, professional outdoor kitchen, outdoor furniture, beach chairs, cooler, kayaks, corn hole game, and beach & bath towels at no additional cost. The yard is expansive to enjoy all types of outdoor activities and the nature trails are only 50' away. In addition, we purchased the property next door in 2013 (property id# 3543656) creating a unique opportunity for guests to rent side by side properties sharing all the amenities that are offered by both homes.
